Hi lybrate-user
I can imagine how distressing and difficult this may be for you and your family. It may be in your best interest to continue the medication prescribed by your doctor.

Dear sekhar,
what are your current dosages of psychotropics and the clear indication of each? What are your current active symptoms, though it is understandable that you have bipolar disorder but what type, I don’t know yet.
As being a pharmacist yourself, I am expecting you to have this information about yourself.
You can mail me at email to discuss these issues in detail, as it will be tricky to titrate multiple medications.
Take care.

You are taking too many drugs without much improvement.
go to a psychiatrist who can give you more time , understand your current symptoms, use only 2 drugs in adequate dosages.
visit with a family member who know you well,with all past records.
I am sure you will be helped.

Keep continue with your medicines.
By example I put it like - neurology is a hardware and psychiatry is software.
Both specialities deals with brain but different disorders.

Dear John,
Please follow at least one doctor's advice before you go out of control.
Did you have previous episodes of mania or depression? Any of your family members had any mental illness or suicide? Are you able to sleep and talk what is necessary? If so, take dicorate and qutipin. If you have high risk behaviour like hypersexuality, overtalking, overspending and do not want to sleep, start with risdone and pacitane and after some control go for dicorate.
